Top Ten Books That Have Been on my To-Read List the Longest

This week I want to know which books have been hanging out on your TBR the longest, yet you still haven’t read them. My tastes tend to change over the years and I’ve removed many books from my TBR that I lost interest in. But there are some that have hung in there for 5-10 years and I just haven’t read them yet even though I still really want to. Those are the books I’m going to share with you today!

I read Can You Remember Me and Beauty both when they came out…. I think I remember liking them, but I just can’t remember anymore! Robin Mckinley and Sophie Kinsella were by far two of my fave authors 10? years ago…. this is making me want to go re-read the Shopaholic series :)

I haven’t read any of these, but I know my mom read and loved The Thorn Birds many years ago as well. And, even though she definitely doesn’t write my “typical” kind of books, I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve ever read by Sophie Kinsella … So Remember Me? is probably worth reading. (Now I need to check to see if that one is on my “To Read” list!)

I really liked Remember Me. I just adore Kinsella (reading the new one as we speak), and this one was so fun and was sort of a redemption story.Sam@WLABB recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Why Are You Still Here?

I have The Forgotten Garden on my bookshelf too and have yet to read it. My daughter and I LOVED Book of a Thousand Days. I also enjoyed Juliet. I read The Thorn Birds eons ago when it was all the rage. The movie was good too. And I just added A Thousand Days In Venice to my TBR list. I can’t resist books set in Italy!!

I’ve read “The Thorn Birds”, “The Book of A Thousand Days” and “The Forgotten Garden” and really enjoyed all of them.

“360 Degrees Longitude” sounds fascinating! I love travelogues and am always on the look-out for more. Oh!! Could a future TTT-topic be top ten travelogues? That would be a great way to add more books to my to-read list :-)Maria recently posted…Books for January

I read ‘Beauty’ by Robin McKinley, it’s one of my favorite ‘beauty & the beast’ retelling, if you like that, you might try ‘Rose Daughter’, another ‘beauty & the beast’ retelling by McKinley also, which is another favorite of mine.

I haven’t the other’s on your list but I have read reviews for ‘Book of a thousand days’ and it sounds, well, not quite good, there seems to be elements that I really hate so much that it puts me off but there seems to be a lot of people liking it, so I don’t know.

I was in high school when the Thorn Birds was published. I devoured it. I still love it and still love the tv version. So much in that book! But I’ve always been a sucker for true older man, younger woman romance (not Lolita type) Today that’s what I write. Love, love, love that book!

I had to laugh at your comment on The Thorm Birds because my mom is the one that has been trying to get me to read that one for *years*. And it does sound interesting. But for whatever reason I just keep ignoring it and reading everything else. Plus, it’s quite an undertaking… almost 700 pages, I think.
